A PRIMARY and a secondary school in the Bucksburn area of Aberdeen were forced to close their doors to pupils today due to a power cut at a nearby electricity substation.

Brimmond School and Bucksburn Academy closed at lunchtime, following the loss of power.

A spokeswoman for Aberdeen City Council said: “Both schools made group calls to parents to advise them of the situation and to ask them to make the necessary arrangements to collect their children from school. A group call was also made to parents of children who attend the afternoon nursery class at Brimmond School that today’s session was cancelled.”
